I was very intrigued by the premise of this book as it is narrated by death. The impartial narration gives the book a very chilling atmosphere. I was a bit taken out of the story every time german phrases were translated word for word after they were utter. This could be because I am German and I understood them the first time but it just took me out of the story.

I really liked the premise of the novel and the characters within this novel. I am looking forward to reading the last installment in the series.

This is definitely a YA-fantasy that leans more in the romance direction, especially in the second part of the novel. However, I really liked it and found the whole world and concept very interesting. I am definitely looking forward to reading the next novel in the series.

I liked the last installment and found it a very interesting conclusion. I was a bit confused by all the different perspectives that only came together in the end.

I really enjoyed the start of this series. I first noticed it when reading the Australia Short Story Collection and the main couple was mentioned there. I really liked the chemistry of Quinn and Austin and how he never pressured her to do anything she did not want to do. Furthermore, it shows very good character development within the main character.

I found this book interesting for mentioning a lot of philosophic theories and concepts. However, I did not like the way the story was told and the frame narrative did not really make sense to me. It also deals with very weird parental figures, which I did not really like.

I really loved this novel and how it developed. I loved the chemistry between the main characters and how they opened up to each other about their struggles. I really liked the pop culture references throughout the novel.
I docked one star because I was sometimes a bit taken out of the story through the fast switches and the different perspectives besides the pov's of the main characters.

Probably 3.5 stars

I genuinely enjoyed the setting and the concept of the story. I also liked the main protagonist but I somehow did not really build a connection to them and therefore felt like I was missing out on something.

I really would like to see the whole story from Riden's perspective but it was a very interesting point o view.

I liked the second installment in this series as it is still an interesting concept. I especially liked to see character development from the first book in the series and how the end of that affected the characters. However, I could not really focus on the novel and did not really connect with the characters as I would have liked too.
